Abstract

To reduce local recurrence, adjuvant locoregional radiotherapy is given routinely for post-mastectomy breast patients with 4 or more positive lymph nodes. Most institutions adopt a 3- or 4-field radiotherapy technique, in which the field and shielding placements are informed by bony anatomic landmarks viewed on digitally reconstructed radiographs.
